The Tar Heels took the first point of the day, winning two of three doubles matches. Senior partners Gabriel Flores and Diego Soto battled hard against Jack Murray and Ronnie Schneider, but the Canes duo was defeated 8-5. No. 1 one doubles partners Omar Aly and Wilfredo Gonzalez shined in their match, defeating North Carolina’s Oystein Steiro and Nelson Vick 8-3. Partners Bernard Tefel and Henrique Tsukamoto lost 8-2.

“We had a good comeback in the singles winning a bunch of first sets, we had opportunities, but North Carolina is a really, really good team," head coach Mario Rincon said. “We pushed them, but it wasn’t enough.”
